MrBeast has already given away $1 million plus thousands of sight and hearing correction surgeries — from the YouTube videos he's posted this year so far

In his first video of 2023, Donaldson set out to cure one thousand people worldwide of blindness with sight correction surgery.

In the February video, he showed a series of patients removing bandages from their eyes to view their surroundings for the first time.

Throughout the upload, Donaldson also handed out briefcases filled with cash, including one patient who said he received $10,000 and another who was given the same amount after he used his new eyesight to read a sign on a wall that said he'd won the cash prize.

One recipient named Jeremiah, who said he'd been subscribed to Donaldson's channel for 11 years, was also given a large check worth $50,000 to go towards college tuition. The YouTuber also gifted a Tesla car to another patient.

At the end of the video, Donaldson told the surgeon who conducted the procedures he would donate $100,000 to help him carry out more.

In a high-octane upload that started on top of a moving train, Donaldson gestured to a man tied up behind him whom he identified as an "assassin." Donaldson said if he could stab the YouTuber with a rubber knife by the end of the day, he'd win a six-figure sum.

The video, posted in March, involved a chase across various locations, including a train station warehouse, a hotel, and in the finale, a carnival. Donaldson wore a backpack that apparently contained the money, as well as a tracker so the "assassin" could keep up with his location.

At the final location, the YouTuber said he faked an injury and pretended the production had ended as he received medical attention. However, the hunter saw through the charade when he greeted Donaldson, and stabbed him with the rubber weapon anyway, winning the $100,000 bounty.

After helping restore a thousand people's vision in an earlier upload, Donaldson returned with a similar mission. This time aiming to help deaf people around the world restore their hearing.

In classic Donaldson style, he handed out a series of cash prizes as patients responded to their newfound ability to hear. This included $62,000 spread out among six people, and an unspecified bundle of cash handed to one patient.

The YouTuber also gave a jetski to an elderly couple, took a child on a shopping spree (who filled her cart with toys), and gave one patient tickets to a basketball game and another to see Taylor Swift live.

At the end of the upload, Donaldson said he would also donate $100,000 to organizations around the world teaching sign language.

For his next video in May, Donaldson challenged 100 people – each a different age between 1 and 100 – to remain inside a glass cube. Whoever remained the longest would get half a million dollars.

The challenge lasted eight days, during which players competed in several elimination activities, like playing Jenga and marbles, that would determine their fates.

The winner, a 40-year-old man, walked away with $500,000, while the runner-up, a woman aged 52, received $10,000 and a family trip to Disneyland. Along the way, Donaldson handed out unspecified bundles of cash to eliminated players four times throughout the video as a consolation prize.

MrBeast took to the seas for a June 10 video comparing different yachts varying in price tags between $1 and $1 billion, he said.

He enjoyed the luxurious amenities with his familiar gaggle of video costars, getting massages onboard and pizza delivered via helicopter. The video also had guest appearances from comedian Pete Davidson and NFL star Tom Brady.

While Donaldson did not give away any money, fans invited on some of these yachts were treated to a wondrous surprise by the end of the video.

While touring the final cruise ship, the Icon of the Seas — a $1 billion vessel he likened to a "floating city" with an indoor mall, water park, and seven "neighborhoods" — Donaldson invited 400 subscribers onboard to enjoy the amenities and offered them all a three-night cruise.

Earlier this month, Donaldson sought to test out a few "insane experiments," including exploding a house with 100,000 fireworks and affixing a jet engine to a car and zooming it off of a ramp.

In one of the experiments, a man was challenged to protect $100,000 that was housed in a glass case and surrounded by trinitrotoluene (TNT) explosives. The man, named Will, was given MrBeast's credit card to spend as much money as he needed in order to protect the cash.

He did so with industrial water tanks and cinderblock walls interspersed with layers of mattresses and dirt. In the end, $95,215 survived the explosion, which Will happily took home.
